Home / Epic Strategic Advisory
An honest read on your Epic program
When a program is slipping, more bodies is rarely the fix. Our advisors have led Epic teams and sat in the steering committee. They tell you what is actually wrong, then help you fix it.
When to call us
- Your status report has been yellow for three months and nobody can say why.
- You are choosing Epic, or weighing Community Connect, and want an independent view before you sign.
- A go-live date is at risk and you need to know whether to hold it.
- You are paying several vendors and can't tell what you are getting from each.
- Your Epic team is stretched and you need a plan for the next year, not another contractor.
What we deliver
Short, focused engagements with a written answer at the end.
- The Epic Health Check. A structured assessment of how far your build has drifted from Epic Foundation, with a sequenced realignment roadmap. How it works.
- Your 2027 Epic business plan. A working session on where Epic is costing you time and money today, with initiatives prioritized against your budget and capacity.
- Program health assessment. A red, yellow, green review of scope, staffing, governance, build and readiness, with the reasons behind each rating.
- Recovery plan. The few changes that will move the status, in priority order, with owners and dates.
- Readiness and scope review. For organizations choosing Epic or adding applications: what it will really take in people, time and money.
- Vendor and staffing review. What each firm is delivering, what you are paying, and where you can consolidate.
- Hands-on recovery. If you want it, senior people who join the program and carry the plan through.
How an assessment runs
Scope
One call to agree on the question you need answered and who we should talk to.
Listen
Interviews with your leaders, analysts and operational owners, plus a review of the plan and status reports.
Report
A plain written read-out for your executives. No 80-slide deck.
Act
You run the plan yourself or we help. Either way the findings are yours.
“FIT Healthcare is the company we have leveraged to help make us smarter about all things Epic.”
Questions buyers ask
Is the assessment a sales pitch for staffing?
No. The report stands on its own and you can take it to anyone. Some clients ask us to help with the fix and some don't.
What does a turnaround look like?
One program our founder led moved from yellow, trending red, to green in six months, with a 4.5 out of 5 Epic Progress Report and 5 out of 5 client happiness at go-live. The change was a smaller, more senior team and clear ownership.
How long does it take?
It depends on the size of the program. We size it on the first call and give you a fixed scope before starting.
Will you tell us if the problem is us?
Yes. That is the point of an outside read.
